Woods Hole Center for Oceans & Human Health (WHCOHH)
Mission: To improve the public health through enhanced
understanding of how oceanic processes affect the distribution and persistence
of human pathogens and toxin producing organisms.
Theme: The Woods Hole COHH addresses fundamental
issues of the distribution of biological agents with potential human
health consequences, in the temperate coastal ocean, including bays,
harbors and estuaries. Within this geographic theme, research projects
in the Center focus on harmful algal blooms, bacterial human pathogens
and parasitic protists, with focused and complementary physical oceanographic
studies and biological studies of causative agents.
The conceptual foundation for the Woods Hole Center for Oceans and
Human Health lies at the interface between advanced genomics, population
biology, and coastal hydrodynamics. The center consists of four research
projects, a core facility, and administrative core, and a pilot project
program.
